X-Men 2 Prequel: Wolverine

At the end of the first “X-Men” movie, Professor Charles Xavier told Wolverine he might be able to help him uncover his lost memories. This one-shot, a sort of prequel to the second film, tells the story of Wolverine’s trip to an apparently abandoned military complex that may contain the answers Wolverine seeks, as Xavier has found a link between it and Wolverine’s adamantium-laced skeleton. Traveling to the site, Wolverine encounters Sabretooth, and learns that they have more in common than was previously believed. Both men are connected to the facility in ways they can’t quite remember. Moreover, it’s not abandoned….

This issue whetted appetites for the X-Men movie sequel “X2,” and also hinted at additional details of Wolverine’s origin. By Brian Vaughan and Tom Mandrake.
